“On
her father’s death in 1488, Anne of Brittany, at twelve, became
ruler of a fiercely independent land beset by hostile neighbors.
Through sieges, wars, political upheaval, and personal tragedy, the
beloved little duchess, only woman to marry two French kings,
triumphed. Vivid description of a glorious era.”—Junior
Literary Guild

“The
life of Anne of Brittany is traced in detail against a vivid
background of court life during the Renaissance. . . . Useful to
schools for its portrayal of the times, this has enough romance to
appeal to girls.”—ALA Booklist
